Replying to Soccer and American Football

So today I was back in my hometown for a rivalry soccer game for the girls team. Ended up in a rough loss in overtime.

What I don't understand is the whole football team there talking shit about soccer and not exactly being supportive "I'm not allowed to say soccer in my house cuz it's gay"

As a little bit info are soccer program is the one of the most successful programs whereas football is the least

So what I'm asking is what's with this mentality? Honestly, I've played soccer my whole life, and don't have anything against football, except for in situations like this, and in my experience it's been primarily football. None of the other sports talk shit they just do what they do. Why is there this soccer vs. football mentality. I know soccer is called a grass fairy sport and what not, even though I know that most of those football players would get their asses handed to them by the soccer team in both sports. I understand that some soccer players are assholes but why this mentality? Why can't you get over yourself and just support your school and team rather than talking shit, and this is a pattern and ongoing battle, when it really doesn't need to be. I play on a premiership team, soccer a one of my big things, but I much more enjoy watching pro football vs some pro soccer and I'll admit that, but any football person I've ever met will talk as much shit as possible about the sport. I'm not saying one is harder than the other the each have their difficulties.


Kinda a rant.

What are your opinions.
